WHY MEAL REPLACEMENT SHAKES?

---

WHY THEY WORK? Your body takes in food and oxygen and converts food into energy, water, and carbon dioxide gas you exhale in your breath. When the calories you eat are more than what you burn during the day, you store the excess as body fat. However, if you eat less calories, your body will burn some fat for energy while maintaining your lean as long as you get the protein you need. If you just cut total calories including those from protein, you will be hungry and lose body protein which is why diets that cut total food intake won’t work. Whenever you eat too little protein, you stay hungry and overeat carbohydrates and fat. Meal replacements make it easier to stay with your plan, and to know how to time your calories during the day. Studies show that using meal replacements, daily physical activity, and writing down what you eat are the three most important behaviors predicting successful weight management. Among participants in a large trial of thousands of people, the more meal replacements they used-the more weight they lost over one year (the NIH LOOKAhead Trial).
